Consent Is Sufficient

AN ARGUMENT FOR COHABITATION / CASUAL SEX

P1. Sexual relationships are morally permissible if they are consensual

P2. Cohabitation and casual sex are consensual

C. Therefore cohabitation and casual sex are morally permissible


CONSERVATIVE COMMENTARY

P1 is not true as there are sexual relationships which are consensual but we would consider them immoral, such as:

  • When third parties are affected (e.g. adulterous relationships with families and children are involved)
  • Incestuous relationships where there is likely health risks to any children conceived
